Method of symbol detection for MIMO dual-signaling uplink CDMA systems

Abstract

The invention provides a block V-BLAST detection algorithm for a general multi-input multi-output CDMA system over the frequency-selective channels, in which each user's data stream can be either orthogonal space-time block encoded for transmit diversity or spatially multiplexed for high spectral efficiency according to the channel conditions. For such the considered dual-signaling system, the receiver could suffer from the large dimension data processing. A two-stage group V-BLAST detection algorithm is thus proposed to further reduce the computational complexity.
